Last night, I finished the first sock of a second pair that I'm working on for Christmas gifts.

I've gotten to the point of turning the heel on the first sock of the second pair I'm making for gifts. I love this yarn, it's Online Supersocke 100 #734. I got it at a local craft store and it's a really soft, beautiful yarn.

Sock so far:


Picture isn't so great but it was the only flash setting that showed the colors the truest.

I'm now off to put a bag of yarn together that I've decided to donate to a shelter for homeless pregnant women that was more than willing to take it since they offer the women knitting classes. I have such a surplus of yarn, it's nuts. A lot of it was given to me but there's also plenty that I've bought and just will never get to use. I think at this particular time of year I feel the need to give and I think this is just the beginning -- I have to realize that I have so much to be thankful for & to stop taking little things for granted.

I finished the other sock last night! Yeah!



I found these cute 'take out' containers at my local craft store and thought they'd be great to put the socks in to give as gifts with some tissue paper:



I want to make three more pair of socks for Christmas gifts. Not happening. I'll likely finish one more pair and the other two recipients will receive IOU's!
